I love making guitars from Cigar Boxes, and thought it would be fun to create a blog for those interested in tracking my progress, and see what's going on in the shop. If you are a potential customer, feel free to email me with any questions.
Enjoy Life Through Music !!

Stumpf Fiddle - I know ... it's not a Cigar Box Guitar

Yeah, I know, it's not a Cigar Box Guitar, but you do need something to keep the beat when you're playing for the crowd. Here in Wisconsin, a Stumpf fiddle fits the bill. It's got a couple of pie pans stuffed with dried corn or beans, a few springs, a wooden block, a bicycle horn, and a few bells to keep the rhythm. Hey, you can't just use a normal drum set with a Cigar box guitar!!
